Episode 34: Continuing from the Roots Happy New Year

  The 34th continuation of Yuan Dan's New Year's greetings

  Wishing all book friends a happy new year with everything going smoothly and good health.

  ……

  Back at the Zhong's house, it was already late afternoon.

  Kao Wu hastily went into the kitchen.

  "Second brother, are you asking me to go down to the kitchen?" Cheng Yaojin was furious. Was the life of a son-in-law so humiliating?

  Qiao Wu clenched his fist and punched himself in the chest, saying: "I'll personally cook to entertain big brother, wait for the appetizer before dinner tonight."

  Appetizer before a big meal? Cheng Yaojin was confused.

  Arriving at the kitchen, I saw that the wok was already on and the spatula was inside. It seems that Ah Lai's efficiency is not bad.

  "Brother-in-law, this small piece is already made, but that steamer won't be ready until tomorrow." Ah Lai said with some difficulty, thinking of the large steamer brother-in-law wanted.

  Ao Wu had already wrapped a piece of cloth around his waist, and there was no time to explain things to him in detail. He just nodded briefly before passing by. He picked up the shovel and wok, washed them in water, then put them on the stove. Once the water had dried off and the wok was hot, he immediately poured oil into it.

  Because of the tight schedule, he could only make a few simple dishes.

  More than half an hour later, the pork waist was stir-fried into scallion waist flower, and a portion of grain vinegar ribs, fried chicken nuggets, five-spice sausage, and stir-fried pork liver were all done.

  The kitchen was already packed with people. Ao Wu, who had good hearing, heard the sound of swallowing saliva continuously, and even a few drops of saliva fell down.

  "How fragrant is this?" Cheng Yaojin's voice rang out.

  Lao Gengtou was indeed a peasant at heart: "This is the aroma of garlic, but I've never smelled anything so fragrant?"

  The old lady couldn't believe it and said: "How can there be so many fragrances in the kitchen?"

  Under the pungent aroma of stir-fried garlic and pork liver, she smelled even more fragrances.

  Kao Wu walked out and calmly said under everyone's shining green eyes: "Serve the dishes."

  The big tiger runs in the front, such heavenly delicacies, they can't be eaten, but can hold and smell the fragrance, this life is not lived in vain.

  Cheng Yaojin thought of what Ao Wu said earlier and asked: "Is this the dish you want to make, Second Brother?"

  "It's right, big brother is here for the first time, of course we should treat him well." Ao Wu smiled.

  "Wu, when will you be able to make such delicious dishes?" Old Auntie asked in puzzlement.

  The real reason can't be explained to them, even if it is explained, they won't understand, the excuse is simple.

  Qiao Wu said proudly: "There is a golden house in the book, I learned everything from books."

  Even with a house made of gold, cooking a dish is nothing.

  The old couple's faces showed a sense of pride, and it seemed that letting their son study hadn't been wrong after all.

  Cheng Yaojin's face showed a look of regret, why didn't he read more books?

  But he soon came to his senses, with such a brother around, who's afraid that the delicious food in the book won't enter his own stomach.

  Cai Duan arrived at the hall, causing a stir once again.

  Zhong Qing and others were seeing such a delicious dish for the first time, their faces full of shock.

  Is this the dish he said he was going to make just now? Zhong Qing thought, when did he learn how to cook, and it's so delicious, I've never seen any great chef make such a dish.

  "Ah, Lord Ao is indeed a superior being!" Xu Sanmao exclaimed with a bow.

  "Don't be polite, come and sit down," Ao Wu said kindly. "Everyone, come and try my cooking."

  If I don't let them eat anymore, I don't know how many more times I can stand hearing their saliva sounds.

  This remark was exactly to Cheng Yaojin's taste, he laughed and sat down at the table, picked up a piece of chicken and threw it into his mouth, and for a long time didn't spit out the bones.

  Lao Gengtou was old and conservative, Zhong Qing was elegant, Xu Sanmao was reverent, but unexpectedly not as straightforward as Cheng Yaojin.

  Under the temptation of delicious food, the two old men took turns serving each other dishes. Zhong Qing was elegant but not slow in pace, while Xu San Mao's movements were slow, but he picked up a lot with each chopstick, and both their mouths puffed out.

  In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all the dishes on their table were cleaned up.

  Kao Wu's dishes on the table were left with more than half remaining.

  These are just ordinary dishes, is it worth it? If the exquisite dishes created by those hotels in later generations were not enough to make one's tongue go numb?

  "I just knew that for over twenty years, I've been eating pig food and living like a dog. This is what it means to eat like a human, haha!" said Cheng Yaojin with an unfulfilled tone.

  Xu Sanmao gave a thumbs up: "Ao Gongzi is really good at this!"

  The old man's face was full of pride.

  Zhong Qing said with a smile: "It's really delicious."

  This is rare, two nights ago he was still using a sword to stab people.

  I don't know if I regret it now, but if I had been stabbed to death two nights ago, I wouldn't have been able to eat this.

  "There's still food in the kitchen, and if we can't finish it, someone will bring more. The only thing missing is wine, so we can't have a good time!" Ao Wu said.

  When he heard Ao Wu say that they couldn't have a good time, Cheng Yaojin thought of the appetizer he had mentioned and said in doubt: "Such a good dish is what Second Brother called an appetizer? There's obviously wine here, why did you say there was no wine?"

  Qiao Wu would never tell him what the big steamer in front of the kitchen was for.

  "Tomorrow big brother will know."

  At this time, a servant brought up more dishes and Cheng Yaojin started another round of drinking.

  A disheartening voice rang out: "Madam, there's a sick person at the gate crying and shouting to see Master."

  Zhong Qing elegantly put down her chopsticks and asked: "Who is it that has come looking for Master Gugu?"

  Look for the patient from the Zhong family, of course, choose Zhong Shen Yi, if not, then find a doctor from the Zhong family. The Zhong family still has several doctors and medical apprentices attached to it, and it's no problem for them to see patients. But this patient didn't look for them, instead looked for Ao Wu, which is strange.

  "They say it's the Liu family from Sanlitun." The servant said.

  Isn't that San Dan Jia?

  Was it after San Dan was kicked in the third leg that he came to the Zhong family for treatment?

  But isn't this a grudge that just started with the Zhong family? Now you're coming to ask for help, are you looking down on the Zhong family as if they're easy to bully?

  "Be gone! Drive them away!" The steward lengthened his donkey face and said angrily.

  He turned around and said to Zhong Qing: "Wife, I'll go deal with it now."

  Zhong Qing did not respond to Guan Jia's words, but instead asked Ao Wu: "How does Lang Jun plan to handle this?"

  "Go and take a look." Watching an enemy suffer is also one of life's pleasures.

  Kao Wu put down his chopsticks and walked out.

  The others looked at each other and followed him out, although they were reluctant to leave the delicious food.

  At the entrance, only three or four servants were blocking the door, a middle-aged couple was kneeling at the door, and behind them, a young man was lying on the doorstep groaning, his two legs stretched out wide. Although the light was dim, bloodstains could be seen on the doorstep.

  Next to the gate, there were several familiar faces that had been seen in Sanlitun, including Xiang Zheng.

  When they saw Ao Wu come out, the middle-aged couple rushed over, crying and begging Ao Wu to save their lives. But they were blocked by the servants.

  "What are you doing?!" the village head scolded, "The young divine doctor is here, what if you scare him away?! Stop crying quickly!..."

  His scolding was effective, and the middle-aged couple immediately shut up. The village head smiled at Ao Wu and said: "Junxiucai, I just heard that you cured Cheng Yuanwai's back injury in Sanlitun, and after Santuo was kicked by a cow in the county government office, he found several doctors who all said that even if they were cured, they would be cut off from having children. The Liu family only has this one descendant, and it hasn't been married yet, so it can't be cut off. I heard that Junxiucai's medical skills are excellent, so please save the Liu family!"

  "Village head, you can't talk like that." Old Auntie couldn't bear it anymore and stood up, saying: "When San Dan was framing our family, why didn't you stand up to speak? Now that he's framed our family again, you immediately come to find our son to treat his illness? Hmph."

  "...". The village head was speechless.

  Fat wife crawled over on her knees, crying: "Auntie Hong, it's all my fault, I know I was wrong, please save my husband San Dan's life... Junxiucai, Junxiucai, please..."

  Kao Wu didn't respond and just stood there watching San Dan groaning in pain.

  Zhong Qing replied: "If other doctors all say there's no way, then we also have no way to treat it."

  She's telling the truth, even if Doctor Zhong is amazing, he can't be better than other doctors from a previous generation. All the other doctors said there was no hope, that his fate was sealed and he would never have children. Even if Doctor Zhong came, he wouldn't be able to change that.

  Fatima heard this and her eyes turned black as she fell backwards.

  A middle-aged man hurried over to support her.

  "I... I... deserved it... ah..." San Dan was in pain, but he was still conscious. Seeing that all hope was lost, his mother fell to the ground, letting out a hoarse wail.

  Ao Wu, who had been watching the scene unfold, finally spoke up: "Do you want to live?"

  The fat couple was stunned, and so were the others.

  "You're only thinking about cutting off your descendants now, but you don't know that if the wound isn't treated soon, you won't make it till tomorrow morning." Ao Wu said calmly, "If there's no doctor to save your child, then the only way to save your life is to cut it off."

  His eyes inquired of him.

  In other words, if you want to stay alive, then castrate yourself.

  San Egg's face was originally pale, but now it was even paler.

  His parents were also frightened out of their wits.

  I'm afraid at this moment, the painful choice deep in their hearts is one that they have never had before in their lives.

  It wasn't until much later that San Dan finally spat out two words from Bai's lips: "Want to live."

  The fat woman heard this and burst into uncontrollable tears.

  Kao Wu glanced at Zhong Qing before saying to Xiang Zheng: "Bring it in."

  Including Zhong Qing, no one expected Ao Wu to save him. Not to mention whether he had the medical skills or not, this act of repaying kindness with enmity was shocking in itself.

  The fat couple sat on the ground, neither of them knew how to get up.

  Still a clever and resourceful countryman, he woke up first and had someone carry the three eggs inside.

  Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing: "My second brother is indeed no ordinary person!"

  In a room cleaned up by the housekeeper, all women were dismissed, and the pants with three eggs were taken off, revealing a bloody mess between his legs.

  Kao Wu held a long needle and said: "Whether or not he can survive depends on this one needle."

  A long silver needle slowly pierced into the bloody mess, a wisp of spiritual energy entering the body along with the needle. After a prolonged period of repair and regeneration, finally, a small flesh ball in the middle lifted its head.

  "Ah!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't believe his eyes anymore.

  Liu's father was shocked and couldn't even speak a complete sentence: "Liu, Liu, family, has, after, after..."
